Tail section differences?

I was searching autotrader, and noticed that a GS had paint color in between the taillights, and others have a black strip that continues between the two tails. Click the 2 links to see what im talking about. Anyone know if this is the only thing different on the 1st gens? Personally i like the black strip to be between the tails. The paint between the tails makes it look like a 1st gen Avalon.

Thanks,

I believe the 95 or 96-97 GS didnt have the plastic center garnish but it had paint matched piece. the earlier 1GS's had the center plastic garnish
